There's huge inflation and somehow they're only increasing prices a token amount.

From various sources, they are making enough money to eat some of the increased costs but they recently started paying dividends again after suspending them when shit was looking bad.

Shaving features they thought nobody would notice can save tens of millions of dollars at their end and make the difference between having to sell a $75,000 truck and a $90,000 truck.

While a few people might notice things like light up cupholders and LED license plate lamps, everyone would notice a 20% price hike.
A few small features won't equate to a 20% price hike. lol

I don't consider these things as co$t savings decisions nearly as much as chip savings and/or component-procurement solutions during supply chain chaos.

I could be giving mercy where it's uncalled for, but I'm just glad Ford isn't removing things like heated seats, like their competitors are.

I think it is just as likely to save chips as much as it is cost savings. Sucks, but its the current climate unfortunately

I just installed cup holder lights in a 22 Platinum the other night for a guy. He removed them from his 21 and I built him a harness to put them back in.

I also can confirm the digital temps are missing from the dials, I sold him my spare control head from a 21 hes going to try installing it in his 22. I bought it to try and put it in my super duty but the hvac controls are about 3/8" too large to go in my super duty.

Dealer told me it has to be on a PB is the whole point is the engine has to start/stop being hybrid. ??‍♂
Thank for the info. Let us know about the digital temps, if they’re able to be installed on the 22

Just stopped to look at a 502a Lariat that just showed up at my local dealer. About as bare bones as 502a can be.

I noticed no LED bed lighting. In the 2021s LED bed lighting was standard I thought on Lariat. Did they drop it out of the standard packages and require the bed utility package in 2022?

Yes. Lariat needs bed package now.
